Did mention LCD's also look quite good, especially the HP ones:D For $400, you could easily get a good one, I paid around $290 for my 19inch widescreen. pricespy.co.nz would be your best bet to finding a good deal.	beeswax34 (63)

The key is response time - in the specs you will see 8ms, or 12ms etc. Lower the better so there is no ghosting or shadowy movement on screen during a game or movie. That's not the whole story, there's clarity and colour etc but who knows until you look. Plenty of good brands for under $400 for a 19".	mmmork (6822)
